According to the Artist “My work of Art is created to express my inner feelings, I want people to see hope in hopeless situations, the positive side of life, and reassure you of your dignity and self-worth. I didn’t choose Art, Art chose me. I am proud to be an Artist! Esther’s works are realism paintings inspired by her environment, African beauty, and childhood memories. She wants people to see life for the way it is and simply be who they want to be as individuals. Her works inspire blacks to be persistent and reach for their goals.
